NBA Basketball Betting Odds: L.A. Lakers at Dallas

With Kobe Bryant nursing a new injury, the L.A. Lakers will try to snap their longest road losing streak in nearly three years tonight when they make the first of two regular-season visits to Dallas to meet the Mavericks.

NBA basketball betting odds have not been released for this contest.

Already admitting recently that a splint over his broken right index finger is affecting his shooting touch, Bryant suffered back spasms Tuesday and did not play in the fourth quarter after scoring all 16 of his points in the first half.

If Kobe does play, he’ll try to avoid scoring fewer than 20 points in three straight games for the first time since 2005.

Pau Gasol will likely miss his sixth consecutive game after straining his left hamstring in Los Angeles’ 131-96 victory over the visiting Mavericks on Jan. 3.

Dirk Nowitzki is averaging 19.2 points and shooting 35.7 percent in his last five games against the Lakers.
